Similar to the 2582N cordless version, but with a cable attached, the Bisselle Crosswave promises to vacuum floors and clean them in the same movement thanks to its mop roller and its two tanks, including one for water dirty.
The Bissell Crosswave is connected to the mains, but it remains identical to the 2582N cordless model that we tested in detail. We therefore find a rather heavy and imposing device which mainly suffers from its lack of versatility since it is intended almost exclusively for the maintenance of hard floors. In addition, its filtration of fine dust leaves something to be desired, a real weak point for a vacuum cleaner, a function that it nevertheless fulfills. Fortunately, even if it leaves a little too much humidity for our taste after its use, it is quite comfortable cleaning the floors thanks to its large mop. Good point, its double tank system means you don’t have to wash surfaces with dirty water, a real plus.
Strong points
- Three-in-one device that washes the floor with water.
- Automatic water circuit cleaning system.
- Comfortable on hard floors and fine carpets.
Weak points
- Lack of versatility.
- Heavy.
- Unwieldy.
- Filtration to be reviewed.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude the prices of stores whose the VAT policy is not clear (so-called “gray” stores, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Vileda Looper is not a floor cleaner like any other. The user must be proactive and spray the water on the ground themselves. The electric mop has a single speed and a single (clean) water tank. Despite these basic features, the Looper has proven itself by successfully cleaning the floor of our laboratory. Its ease of use and low noise level definitely make it an everyday device.
